<p>Britain has revoked the diplomatic immunity of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and his family, Foreign Secretary William Hague said as he called on him to step down.</p>
<p>The United Nations Security Council unanimously voted earlier to refer the brutal repression of the popular Libyan uprising to the International Criminal Court.</p>
<p>Sanctions also included a freeze on the assets of Mr Gaddafi and his immediate family and a global travel ban on the embattled ruler and his close associates.</p>
<p>Mr Hague also said the UK was &#8220;working intensively&#8221; to establish how many Britons remained in Libya as final evacuation missions were being planned.</p>
<p>Dozens of oil workers were dramatically rescued by military aircraft from remote desert locations on Saturday night in a secret mission involving British special forces.</p>
<p>The Foreign Secretary said the mission was launched without the permission of the Gaddafi administration and would not speculate on whether further such operations were planned.</p>
<p>Asked if the Libyan leader could remain in power, Mr Hague told BBC1&#8217;s Andrew Marr Show: &#8220;We have here a country descending into civil war, with atrocious scenes of killing of protesters and a government actually making war on its own so of course it is time for Colonel Gaddafi to go. That is the best hope for Libya.</p>
<p>&#8220;And last night I signed a directive revoking his diplomatic immunity in the United Kingdom but also the diplomatic immunity of his sons, his family, his household.</p>
<p>&#8220;So it is very clear where we stand on his status as the head of state.&#8221;</p>
